Sixty dollars is the single most searched bill amount for tipping, and it is easy to see why — it is the archetypal dinner for two, and it divides cleanly by almost everything. Twenty percent is $12 and 15% is $9.
| Tip percentage | Tip | Total |
|---|---|---|
| 10% | $6.00 | $66.00 |
| 12% | $7.20 | $67.20 |
| 15% | $9.00 | $69.00 |
| 18% | $10.80 | $70.80 |
| 20% | $12.00 | $72.00 |
| 22% | $13.20 | $73.20 |
| 25% | $15.00 | $75.00 |

Splitting a $60 Bill
Two people at 20% pay $36 each; three pay $24; four pay $18; six pay $12. Sixty divides evenly by two, three, four, five, six and ten.
| Split between | Each pays (18%) | Each pays (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| 2 people | $35.40 | $36.00 |
| 3 people | $23.60 | $24.00 |
| 4 people | $17.70 | $18.00 |
| 5 people | $14.16 | $14.40 |
| 6 people | $11.80 | $12.00 |
Always add the tip to the full bill first and divide afterwards. Splitting first and letting everyone round their own share up leaves the server short — the main calculator handles this correctly.
Working Out $60 in Your Head
Move the decimal point one place left to get 10% of $60, which is $6.00. Everything else builds from that number: double it for 20% ($12.00), add half of it for 15% ($9.00), or take 20% and subtract a tenth for 18% ($10.80).
Ten percent is $6. Double for $12 at 20%, add half for $9 at 15%, or take 20% and knock off a tenth for $10.80 at 18%.
The same shortcut works on any bill — the full method is explained here, and the tip chart covers the amounts either side of $60.
What to Leave on $60 by Service
The spread between a conservative and a generous tip on $60 is $6 — about the price of the coffee at the end of the meal.
| Service | Percentage | Tip | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exceptional service | 25% | $15.00 | $75.00 |
| Good service | 20% | $12.00 | $72.00 |
| Standard service | 18% | $10.80 | $70.80 |
| The acceptable floor | 15% | $9.00 | $69.00 |
| Poor service | 10% | $6.00 | $66.00 |
Below 15% reads as a deliberate comment rather than a small tip, so it is worth speaking to the manager as well. The average tip percentage guide covers where these ranges came from.
Rounding the Total Up Instead
$70 is a 16.7% tip and $72 is exactly 20%. Most people go to $70 and consider it settled.
| Rounding up to | That tip is | Which is |
|---|---|---|
| Round the total to $65 | $5.00 | 8.3% |
| Round the total to $70 | $10.00 | 16.7% |
| Round the total to $75 | $15.00 | 25.0% |

$60 Plus Sales Tax
Every figure above is calculated on $60 before sales tax, which is the US convention. What the bill actually comes to depends on where you are — these are the totals at the rates you are most likely to meet.
| Sales tax rate | Tax | Bill with tax | 20% tip (pre-tax) | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No sales tax (OR, MT, NH, DE) | $0.00 | $60.00 | $12.00 | $72.00 |
| 6% | $3.60 | $63.60 | $12.00 | $75.60 |
| 7% | $4.20 | $64.20 | $12.00 | $76.20 |
| 8% | $4.80 | $64.80 | $12.00 | $76.80 |
| 8.875% (New York City) | $5.32 | $65.32 | $12.00 | $77.32 |
| 10.25% (Chicago area) | $6.15 | $66.15 | $12.00 | $78.15 |
Tipping post-tax instead costs $0.96 more here, and is perfectly acceptable — tax and tip explains why card terminals do it that way.
